the forest of dornmling made a strange discovery they begin to fell 1 venerable oak which they found to be quite hollow being half decayed it speedily came to the ground with a crash disclosing a skeleton in excelleni preservation even the boots which came above the knee were perfect by its side was a powder horn a porcelain pipe bowl and a silver watch the teeth were perfect it would seem to be the skeleton ef a man between 30 and 40 years of age it is conjectured that while engaged in hunting lie climbed the tree for some purpo.se and slipped into the hollow trunk from which there was no release and he probably died of starvation another mystery was found in the heart of as oik from a tree of this kind a large block about eighteen inches in diam eter that had been knocking about in various yards and woodsheds was split up lately and in it was found an auger hole about three-fourths of an inch in size containing a bunch of human hair done up in a piece of paper the hair was near the centre of the block and fastened with a pine plug it was ap parently put in when the tree was quite small as the tree had grown over tne plug to the thickness of about four inches with the grain perfectly smooth and straight a natural curiosity was shown in a timber merchant's workshop this was the nesi and skeleton of a bird im bedded in a piece of beech the tim ber seemed quite sound all round the cavitv and there was no signs of any aperture in it but the timber bein ; sawn up the nest with the bird sitting in it was found the nest appeared to be built with mud and the bird resem bled a titmouse p.obably at the lop ping of a branch a cavity was formed and the outside subsequently grown over but how the bird was inclosed seems diffi tilt to imagine in the centre of a lo of honduras mahogony the saw revealed a large piece of honeycomb the tinder says he wax with the cells was hard and resembled in color the appearance of a mum ny the remains of the bees w*-re iticrnsted in the wax another log cf mahogony was being cut in veneers by a cabinet-maker when his attention was attracted by the appear ance of a remarkable and striking pio tile of her majesty in the wood the likeness was so true that all who saw it acknowledged the resemblance so often have toads been found in closed in solid bodies that it is not sur prising to read in a scotch paper that a servant while breaking a large piece of ceal for the fire wss startled to find in the centre of the block a full grown toad which appeared to be in excellent health and spirits a less common discovery was made in birkenhead a g'ntleinan there was presented with a c w's tongue which appeared to be , erfect in every ns.x'ct after the tongue was boiled he discovered apiece if sandfield imbedded in it about thre -

apidly so quite a number of youiil aad old p e i met at willer's store wednesday night to kill the animal sifter the crowd had come together the noise was heard again then the crowd formed a line to

to kill him then and there they tired about thirty shots a gentleman by the name of \\ . l gornelison was goiug to visit his brother but heard the animal before he got there â€” it was too much for him to stand he turned his horse for home and rode for dear life he was about 1 mile from home when on hi way and that his feet slipped out of his saddle stirup but he had not time to put them back he was riding all the same mr gornelison soon re turned with a dauntless recruit both were armed but before mr i got on the scene of action all was over w \\. prider was also very much excited and loaded

conjectured that it has gone down the river into a less thickly settled part of the country as it has not opened its mouth in our neighborhood since the night the valiant heroes of trading ford so

breaking a large piece of ceal for the fire wss startled to find in the centre of the block a full grown toad which appeared to be in excellent health and spirits a less common discovery was made in
